1987 Ercoa Pontoon

This classic 1987 Ereco Pontoon has the charm of an older hull with the feel of a much newer deck boat. Wide, open spaces make it easy to move around, set up chairs, or drop in a cooler for a full day on the water. The rail height is comfortable for kids and guests who like to lean and watch the shoreline drift by. It’s the kind of platform that works just as well anchored in a quiet cove as it does slow-cruising at sunset. With its age, insurance and registration costs can often be more manageable than a newer pontoon, while still giving you that “weekend cottage on the water” vibe.

An Ereco Pontoon from this era suits sheltered waterways, lazy rivers, and calm bays where the focus is on relaxation more than speed. Its broad deck and stable stance are ideal for waters where you’re frequently rafting up with friends, tying off to docks, or easing into shallow sandbars. The simple, proven construction is a plus in areas where you might beach the boat or brush the occasional stump or sandbar. If your local water has changing conditions through the season, this style of pontoon adapts easily—from fishing and family picnics in the mornings to evening cruises with friends when the wind settles down.
